Repairs by material

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Should you replace it?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A top that moves on its units

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Do you need worktop repair in Dunham-on-the-Hill?

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • A damaged sink edge

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Dunham-on-the-Hill

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Dunham-on-the-Hill questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you come to Dunham-on-the-Hill?

We do. We send a technician to Dunham-on-the-Hill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Typically. A photo lets us check.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
